My husband didn't say a thing, nothing, and he still hasn't - years later.

He's a normie; he didn't get it and still doesn't. He will never understand how difficult it is to overcome alcoholism.

I reconciled this reaction by trying to apply 'balance' to the situation. He had lived with my emotionally 'checked-out' status for years. I guess I 'owed' him my acceptance of his non-reaction.

Keep working at your sobriety, Anewyear. It is yours to enjoy, to savor, to cherish. It is one of the greatest gifts you will ever give yourself and, indirectly, those you love.
